OBJECTIVE: To assess the efficacy of misoprostol for the treatment of chronic erosive gastritis and associated symptoms.
METHODS: We performed a double-blind controlled trial, administering 200-micrograms misoprostol tablets or placebo twice daily for 2 months to 48 patients with symptomatic chronic erosive gastritis. Symptomatology was assessed by means of a standard questionnaire at the beginning and at the end of the study, as well as endoscopic and histologic changes of the gastric mucosa.
RESULTS: At the end of the treatment period, a significant reduction in symptom score was observed in misoprostol-treated (from 86.6 +/- 66.2 to 17.6 +/- 18.2, p < 0.001) but not in placebo-treated patients. Endoscopic score was significantly reduced at the end of the treatment period in the misoprostol group, compared with that of the placebo group (p < 0.05). A significant reduction in the activity of histologic gastritis was observed only in patients on misoprostol. The prevalence of gastric colonization by Helicobacter pylori was rather low (30%), and no effect of treatment was observed.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with symptomatic chronic erosive gastritis seem to profit from treatment with misoprostol: the treatment with misoprostol, but not with placebo, was effective in significantly reducing the extent of symptoms. Such an improvement was associated with a substantial improvement in the endoscopic and histologic appearance of the gastric mucosa.
